While the blockchain industry is still struggling with the performance bottleneck of thousands of TPS, Solayer is reconstructing public chain infrastructure with InfiniSVM technology — this next-generation high-performance blockchain project designed for the Solana ecosystem is pushing TPS towards 1 million + through dual paths of hardware acceleration and protocol reconstruction. From financial innovations anchoring real assets with sUSD to the last mile of on-chain payments with the Emerald Card, Solayer is weaving an ecological network connecting technological breakthroughs and application landing, opening up new imaginative space for the Web3 world.
I. InfiniSVM: A technological revolution breaking the performance ceiling of blockchain
The InfiniSVM (Infinite Scalable Virtual Machine) built by Solayer is not a simple optimization of traditional virtual machines but a three-dimensional reconstruction of 'hardware - protocol - ecology' from the bottom layer. Its core technological breakthroughs are reflected in two major paths:
(1) Hardware acceleration: reconstructing the computing paradigm with dedicated chips
InfiniSVM introduces FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and ASIC dedicated chips to perform hardware-level acceleration for core blockchain computation modules (such as hash computation and state validation). This design is like installing a 'turbocharged engine' on the blockchain — while traditional CPU requires millisecond-level responses for processing a single transaction, the hardware acceleration solution can compress the time to microsecond level, combined with parallel computing architecture, ultimately achieving a processing capacity of over 100,000 TPS per node. The Devnet version released in May 2025 has already been tested to reach 800,000 TPS, just a step away from the million target.
(2) Protocol reconstruction: dual innovation of dynamic sharding and shared security
At the protocol level, InfiniSVM pioneers the 'adaptive dynamic sharding' mechanism: the system automatically divides transaction shards based on real-time load, with each shard processing independently and quickly aggregating through the consensus layer. This 'on-demand allocation' model breaks the fixed partition limitations of traditional sharding, allowing throughput to increase linearly with the number of nodes. Meanwhile, Solayer is integrating formal verification technology into consensus algorithms by acquiring Web3 security company Fuzzland, maintaining a shared security model across shards even under high performance, completely solving the 'scalability - security' binary paradox.
II. Product matrix: ecological closed loop from financial infrastructure to real-world connections
The technological advantages of InfiniSVM are being translated into user-perceptible value through three core products, building a complete ecological closed loop of 'stablecoin - staking - payment'.
(1) sUSD: A new paradigm of on-chain finance anchored to government bonds
As Solayer's stablecoin solution, sUSD breaks the fragility of traditional algorithmic stablecoins — its backing comes from low-risk assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds, achieving a 1:1 anchor through smart contracts. Even more revolutionary is the 4% annual yield design: users can deposit USDC to exchange for sUSD, and the funds will be invested in short-term government bonds through compliant channels, with profits distributed to holders in real time. This 'capital preservation + yield generation' model transforms stablecoins from mere value storage tools into financial assets that can generate cash flow. The sUSD tipping function went live in May 2025 with Sidekick Labs, and in June it crossed chains to Base via Wormhole, rapidly expanding application scenarios.
(2) Native SOL staking: Mega Validator releases the value of holdings
The SOL staking mechanism launched by Solayer improves staking efficiency through 'Mega Validator' cluster technology: users do not need to run nodes themselves, they just need to deposit SOL into a smart contract to join a validator pool composed of professional node operators, enjoying an annual yield of about 12% (far exceeding the average 5-6% level of the Solana mainnet). This 'zero-threshold high-yield' model addresses the technical barriers and single-point risk issues for ordinary users participating in staking. As of March 2025, when the function goes live, it has attracted over 100,000 SOL to participate in staking.
(3) Emerald Card: The real payment entry for crypto assets
This globally universal on-chain Visa card is a 'breakthrough artifact' of the Solayer ecosystem — users can recharge assets such as USDC and sUSD to the card and spend directly at over 20 million merchants worldwide that accept Visa. Even more attractive is the accompanying reward system: the Emerald Card reward program launched in April 2025, in collaboration with Nubit, offers $5-100 in Bitcoin, and cooperates with Nansen to provide a 10% discount on products, with consumption returning $CHAOS tokens, etc. This combination of 'crypto assets + real consumption + on-chain rewards' is reconstructing the payment experience — while traditional credit cards are still exchanging points for gifts, Emerald Card users are already using USDC to pay for coffee and earn blockchain benefits.
III. Ecological leap: the evolutionary path from technological breakthroughs to industry reconstruction
Solayer's ambition goes far beyond performance enhancement; it is building a positive cycle of 'technology - product - ecology' that empowers each other. The rapid advancement rhythm of the white paper released in January 2025 and the Devnet launch in June demonstrates strong execution capability:
(1) Reshaping the stablecoin landscape: sUSD's 'dollarization' ambition
When USDT and USDC are still trapped in regulatory uncertainty, sUSD is attempting to become a 'new paradigm' of on-chain dollars through the compliant path of anchoring government bonds. Imagine such a scenario: multinational companies use sUSD for global payments, DeFi protocols use sUSD as the base asset, and individual users save in sUSD for daily use — the 4% risk-free yield + the stability backed by government bonds could make sUSD 'on-chain cash' that transcends traditional stablecoins. The cross-chain to Base in May 2025 is a key step in its expansion of a multi-chain ecology.
(2) Reconstructing the payment system: the 'de-banking' revolution of the Emerald Card
The traditional bank card system is monopolized by Visa and Mastercard, while the Emerald Card reconstructs the entire process of 'issuing - clearing - rewarding' through blockchain technology:
Decentralized issuance: no bank approval required, a blockchain address serves as an account
Instant clearing: on-chain transactions confirmed within seconds, no cross-border payment delays
Rewards are programmable: Consumption triggers smart contract rewards, merchants can customize incentive rules
If this model becomes widespread, it may become the 'decentralized card organization' of the Web3 era, as exemplified by the Emerald Card: 'A Visa card vs. the on-chain financial system represented by the Emerald Card', the latter carries the payment possibilities of the entire value internet.
(3) Opening the era of million TPS: the application imagination of InfiniSVM
What does 1 million TPS mean? It is enough to support:
1 billion users simultaneously making on-chain payments worldwide
Millisecond-level order processing on high-frequency trading platforms
State synchronization for tens of thousands of players interacting in the metaverse in real time
The Devnet demonstrated by Solayer at the New York SVM Summit 2025 has provided a testing environment for developers. It is foreseeable that when the InfiniSVM mainnet lands, 'impossible applications' such as on-chain games, real-time financial settlements, and large-scale decentralized social networking will become a reality.
